Y P O Differences between RAW images and JPEG images. • JPEG images / / / / / When JPEG images are recorded, the images are processed inside the camera for optimum image quality, and also compressed to allow a larger number of images to be stored on the memory card. However, the compression process is irreversible, meaning that the raw data cannot be recovered once it has been compressed. Moreover, the image processing results in a deterioration in quality. • RAW images A RAW image is raw data recorded with nearly no deterioration in image quality resulting from image processing inside the camera. This data cannot be used as is for viewing or printing on a computer. The supplied software (Digital Photo Professional) must first be used to convert the image data to a JPEG or TIFF file. When converting the image data, you can adjust the image with minimal deterioration in image quality. C Simultaneously Recording RAW and JPEG Images Two images, a RAW image and a JPEG image will be recorded with each shot. Since a JPEG image is also recorded, you can print the image or view it on a computer without using the supplied software. The file extension for RAW images is “.CR2”, and the extension for JPEG images is “.JPG”. The JPEG images will be recorded with recording pixels with image compression. 76 Shooting Close-ups (Macro) Choose [Record + ]. ● Press the n button, choose [Record + ] from the 4 tab, and then press the qr buttons to choose [On]. Be sure to use the supplied software to transfer both the RAW images and the JPEG images that were recorded at the same time.

Do not drop it or subject it to strong impacts. • Never place the camera close to magnets or motors that generate strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data. • If water droplets have fallen onto, or dirt is stuck on the camera or LCD monitor, wipe with a dry soft cloth or eyeglass wiper. Do not rub or apply force. • Never use cleaners containing organic solvents to wipe the camera or LCD monitor. • Use a commercially available blower brush to remove dust from the lens. For stubborn dirt contact the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk as listed on the customer support leaflet supplied with your camera. • When you move the camera rapidly from cold to hot temperatures, condensation may form on the internal or external surfaces of the camera. To avoid condensation, put the camera in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag. • If condensation has formed, stop using the camera immediately. Continued use may damage the camera. Remove the battery and memory card, and wait until the moisture has completely evaporated before resuming use.
